Even shorter:
apt autopurge
Apropos to my recent message regarding system configuration, I keep a
personal metapackage around that lists the packages I really want.
About once a quarter I do the following (as root):
# apt-mark showmanual | grep -v mrc-mars | xargs apt-mark auto

It seems that basic X windows or GUI apps are compiled with libthai support.
This is probably done in a way that they won't run without it being
installed (failed to load due to missing library).

In the days of yore, when GNOME was just version 2 point something,
it used to be possible to rip out (most of) GNOME with a simple apt-get
